DLSU VISION-MISSION
PREAMBLE
De La Salle University is an internationally recognized Catholic university
established by the Brothers of the Christian Schools in 1911. Inspired by
the charism of St John Baptist de La Salle, the University community,
together and by association, provides quality human and Christian
education by teaching minds, touching hearts and transforming lives.
VISION-MISSION
A leading learner-centered research university, bridging faith and
scholarship in the service of society, especially the poor
CORE-VALUES
Faith (religio)
DLSU is committed to nurturing a community of distinguished and
morally upright scholars that harmonizes faith and life with contemporary
knowledge in order to generate and propagate new knowledge for human
development and social transformation.
Service (mores)
DLSU is committed to being a resource for Church and Nation and being
socially responsible in building a just, peaceful, stable and progressive
Filipino nation.
Communion (cultura)
DLSU is committed to building a community of leaders, competent
professionals, scholars, researchers and entrepreneurs, who will
participate actively in improving the quality of life in Philippine society
within the perspective of Christian ideals and values.
Philosophy
In its quest as a research university, DLSU views its mission as aligned
with other developing higher educational institutions in transcending the
boundaries of the nation-state, educating for global perspective and advancing
the frontiers of knowledge worldwide (Emerging Global Model of Research
University, Mohrman, et al, 2008, p.7). With accelerating globalization,
borderless education has produced numerous and diverse avenues for
knowledge sharing and creativity to make individuals locally and globally
1
Framework
The DLSU Faculty Development Program was designed to assist
individuals and departments in the area of human resource development.
The Program aims to facilitate the Universitys goal of academic excellence
through the development of the competencies and professionalism of
its faculty. Hence, efforts directed towards the quality of training shall be
sustained at a high level and training relevancy shall be valued increasingly
in accordance with the broad range of current and emerging needs of faculty,
both for today and in the future. Furthermore, the DLSU Faculty Development
Program is grounded on the principles that:
1. The individuals professional competence is integral to the Universitys
overall human resources.
2. One way to achieve academic excellence is to integrate the desires
of individuals in the community for growth and development aligned
with the Universitys goals.
3. The University, as an educational institution, is a learning organization
where expansion, production, and nurturance of knowledge remain a
fundamental priority.
3
Academic inbreeding is a practice that perpetuates the parochialism of ideas since the
academic experience is limited to the same established knowledge and long held ideas and
beliefs. This runs contrary to the demands of todays knowledge-based societies.
Strategy
Support faculty members, who publish in high impact journals, in their
paper presentation or keynote address/invited talk in international
conferences, workshops, symposia and similar fora.

5
Policies
1. The pre-selected journals are chosen for their reputation as highimpact journals, low (strict) acceptance rate, and a distinguished
editorial board. An additional indicator of high quality journal is the
regular presence of publications from faculty members of prestigious
universities in Asia, North America, and Europe.

through the Deans to the Vice-Chancellor for Academics (VCA) for

she may refer the list for review to partners from universities abroad.
The initial list will be reviewed after one (1) year and every two (2)

the articles submission date.
4. The list of pre-selected high impact journals can be accessed from
http://intranet.dlsu.edu.ph/downloads/documents/pdf/vca_highimpact-journals_list.pdf. While the journals are listed by college,
6
faculty members can publish not only in the journals listed under their
college but in other colleges as well.
5. One journal publication merits one conference participation anytime
within 3 years from the date of the journal papers acceptance. If there
are multiple authors, they would need to agree among themselves as
to who would avail of the incentive.
6. A faculty member may avail of this incentive at most once every two
years.
7. In exceptional cases, full-time faculty members who have rendered
less than 5 years of service to the University but have garnered a
Very Satisfactory teaching performance rating may also avail of this
incentive.
8. Exceptions are treated on a case to case basis, and will be at the
discretion and sole prerogative of the VCA, in consultation with the
Dean. Faculty members are allowed to avail of the incentive as an
exception only once.

incentive among the different colleges of the University.
